MANTAMAN Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Do you need to be a vboa member to attend this or can you just turn up? Strictly speaking yes but no membership cards are checked and anyway we can soon enroll you in the Opel Manta OC !! anyone who is a member of a Constitute Club is a VBOA member as well.
